For the most part, you choose a person to be to your bae. But what if you concluded that pizza is really your bae? And that you could custom-make it? I kid you not. This can totally happen at 1441 Pizzeria. No limit on the number of toppings, (some 50 odd in number), six varieties of cheese and some lip-smacking sauces, no limit on the quantity of toppings, and most important, no restriction on the amount of cheese! Remember that feeling you had as a kid when you could fill your candy bag with unlimited goodies? This feeling is even better! This amazing pizzeria just makes some fresh base and hands it over to you. And then it’s your playground. With regular as well as gourmet toppings to choose from, this was by far my best pizza experience. If you get a chance to swing by between 3pm – 7pm, you get a chance to actually get behind the counter and make your own.

I waited eagerly in the line as an eight-year-old was behind the counter making his own pizza. His mother, overjoyed by her son’s newly developed chef skills, shot every moment, urged him to smile and recorded every topping that went on top of this 12” base and finally into the traditional wood-fire oven. As I was trying to figure my own pizza toppings, a soft voice said: “Would you like a regular or gourmet Ma’am?” Voila. My turn had finally arrived. Selecting toppings isn’t a walk in the park. Ready to pig it out, I chose a half-and-half and started with some of Mama’s Italian sauce.

When you have a DIY Pizza with limitless toppings, you may as well make the most of it.

As I patiently put together my smoked cheese, spinach and meats on one side and mushrooms, olives, caramelised onions, jalapenos, and more cheese on the other, , I was mocked by an inner voice “My, You’re picky!” Add ons done, in went my pizza into the oven. Ready to eat and smelling like a million bucks, our plate of joy arrived at our table within 10 minutes. The lady on the table next to me turned and exclaimed, “Wow that smells amazing!” Just one phrase to describe my pizza—a slice of heaven.

Now you could debate whether pizza is your bae or chocolate is. But at 1441 Pizzeria, the argument crumbles right away as they do a perfect Nutella pizza. Aside from giving you a choice of so many glorious toppings (I emphasise this because other places literally allow you to add like four pieces of everything on your pizza) they also offer you marshmallows and fruits as options. Naturally you choose both. I bit into this beauty. It was divine. Nutella can never go wrong and a perfectly thin-crust, fresh base made it perfect. And so I say, pizza for mains, for dessert, and for anytime.
And pizza for bae!
